To unburden himself from the crown that lies so uneasy upon the heads of lesser men.
But unemployment cannot last forever.
Not for such a uniquely driven, focused and ambitious ruler.
“And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept.
For there were no more worlds to conquer.”
(The benefits of a Bridgewater State education and memorizingthe screenplay ofDie Hard.)
Somewhere out there, lies his uncertain future.
Football sidelines across the US are being patrolled by lesser men.
And this one needs to take his rightful place among them.
Maybe if it was the job at Navy, for the obvious reasons.
That’s where he was raised.
His father’s legacy.
His reverence for the armed services, and so on.
But the idea of having to hustle around the country recruiting teenagers just seems so … anti-Belichick.
I’ll let these guys describe how the process would play out:
Exactly.
Plus having to deal with the realities of NIL at a school where basketball is king.
It seemed to me that the best situation for Belichick to land in is Chicago.
The Bears need help on the offensive line, but have all the resources they need to address it.
Other than that, the roster is talented.
The quarterback could use better coaching, but comes with a box filled with all the tools.
They’ve got a huge fanbase.
An NFL legacy program for the ages.
So Chicago just seems like an infinitely better option than Chapel Hill, right?
At least according to this:
#ChicagoBears fans scratch Bill Belichick off your list of potential head coaches.
Contract negotiations with UNC are underway.
NIL money will follow, then players too.
Did someone’s girlfriend scrub her social media yet as requested?
Look, I don’t know this Peggy Kusinski from Peg Bundy.
OrTed Kluszewski:
She may be an excellent reporter with impeccable credentials and unimpeachable sources.
I have no clue.
(Or any Big Klu.)
Nor am I ruling out Belichick still going to the Tar Heels altogether.
What I’m saying is that I still find it highly implausible.
If Belichick ends up in Chapel Hill, it will be because he had no NFL offers.
How does any Belichick loyalist (raising my hand to that) argue, “See?
Toldya he could win without Brady!
Look at the number he did on James Madison!”
But for now, I’m saying Belichick interviewed at UNC and is otherwise keeping his options open.
We’ll know soon enough.
